Data shown M (SD) or n (%). Column numbers may not be equal to 100 % due to round-off or unknown values. p value for categorical variable based on Fisher’s exact or Chi-sq test; p value for continuous variable based on one-way ANOVA. Fat in diet score was calculated using available case analysis instead of complete case analysis, in terms of handling partly missing sub-scores. Number of lessons taken between baseline and 3-month visits, range = 0 to 8
